Course Expectations
Before commencing any new studies, or training course either full-time or part-time, it is often a very useful exercise to spend some time thinking about what you expect to gain from the course, in terms of skills, knowledge and personal development. It is also a period to reflect on your past work experience and the knowledge you have already gained from this. It is important to think about any life experiences that have contributed to your own development. In order to achieve your long-term aims, this may be for example: employment, either full-time or part-time, change of career, further education or return back to the workplace etc. it may be very helpful to set for yourself short-term goals. Short-term goals need not be very complicated or difficult, it is more important to identify them and be committed to them as you progress though your course. Examples of short-term goals could be: a commitment to attend the course every day, to contribute fully in all the aspects of the course, to be on time each day etc. As you progress through your course, it may sometimes be difficult for you to learn, or your initial enthusiasm may no longer be as strong as it was. On these occasions it can be very useful to read over any short term goals you have set, to help renew your commitment to the course and therefore to your own long term aims.
